Technical field
The present invention relates to low-light (level) DSSC.
Background technology
As photo-electric conversion element, DSSC, owing to can obtain cheapness, high-photoelectric transformation efficiency and receiving publicity, about DSSC, is carrying out various exploitation.
DSSC generally include work electrode, to electrode, connect work electrode and to the sealing of electrode, be filled in by the electrolyte in work electrode, the element cell space that surrounds electrode and sealing.And, the oxide semiconductor layer as electric layer that work electrode comprises transparency carrier, arranges nesa coating on the transparent substrate and be arranged on nesa coating.
In recent years, DSSC is not only used as outdoor solar cell, is also being used as the power supply etc. of indoor various electronic equipments.
But, know, usually, under the environment of the low-light (level)s such as indoor (below 10000 luxs), the generation electric current of DSSC and generation voltage drop.This is because the light quantity of incidence reduces, causing short circuit current to decline, producing leakage current as between the nesa coating on the oxide semiconductor layer of electric layer and transparency carrier and electrolyte, open circuit voltage being declined.Because photoelectric conversion efficiency is directly proportional to short circuit current and open circuit voltage, therefore, if short circuit current, open circuit voltage decline, photoelectric conversion efficiency also reduces.So, even if need a kind of DSSC that also can improve short circuit current, open circuit voltage under the low-light (level) environment such as indoor.
Such as, in following patent documentation 1, someone proposes the I by reducing in electrolyte 3 -concentration reduce the absorption of electrolyte to incident light, improve light transmission, thus increase short circuit current.
